TAHNEE CROWTHER
Provisional Psychologist
Bachelor of Psychology (Honours) \ Master of Professional Psychology \ Master of Clinical Psychology (in progress)

Tahnee Crowther

Tahnee works to create a space where people can openly explore what brings them to therapy, and what they hope might be different. She approaches this work recognising that each person holds important understanding about their own experience, and her role is to help that understanding translate into meaningful action.

In her practice, she draws on evidence-based approaches, including Interpersonal Psychotherapy (IPT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Motivational Interviewing (MI), and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), tailoring therapy to the needs and goals of each individual.

She offers psychological assessment and therapeutic support across all ages and stages of life. Her interests include perinatal psychology (walking alongside people through the significant changes of early parenthood), working with neurodivergent individuals and their families and questions of self, purpose and relationships. 

She begins by meeting people where they are, sitting with them through what's difficult and then helping them find their footing and reconnect with what matters. She values the honesty and depth of these conversations, whether someone is working to restore stability, building new understanding or moving toward a life that feels more authentic. She greatly respects the courage it takes to reach out and for what makes each person who they are.
